This invention relates to a heating range as described in the presentspecification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which formspart of same.

The invention consists essentially of the means employed for exhaustingthe fumes, greases, and odours and for maintaining the food stuffs inedible condition as pointed out in the claim for novelty following thedescription of an acceptable form of the invention.

The objects of this invention are to construct a heating range suitablefor use in fried fish and potato shops where the odour given ofi by thehot fat and frying fish is of fensive to the patrons and pervades theentire premises being carried by the steam and fumes and settling andpermeating the clothing of the cooks and employees as well as adheringto the walls and furniture of the premises and which cannot bedissipated in the ordinary Way of cleaning, thus causing the proprietorloss in patronage and consequent diminution in business and a blot onthe reputation of the place on the grounds of uncleanliness; to furnisha heating range inexpensive to manufacture and with low operating costs,sanitary in use and capable of producing the cooked comestibles forconsumption hot and free from grease and edible and generally to providea heating range of great utility to the general public and to theparticular business involved.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional View taken on the line 3-3 in Figure 1.I

Figure t is a fragmentary sectional detail of the oven showing the Watercontainer.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the hot air flue showing the steamflues and stack broken away.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of one of the fat pan casings.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the variousfigures.

The numeral 10 indicates a flat stove top supported on the four legs 11.The two rear legs extendupwardly and form a' 'support ing means for theback 12 which together with the sides 13 and 14 form'supporting membersfor the canopy15.

The fat pancasingslfi and 17 :areadapted 5t tocompletely close in thefat pans 18 and are d'etach'ably secured-0n the stove top. Eachof'thefsecasings have a lid-20 hinged at 19 a'jtfthe top and theaperture 18a, at the rear and in which the fines 21 areadapted' to be(30 inserted and detachably secured therefrom and extend upwardlyand'turn at right angles into the box 23 situated-under the canopy-15.

The fatpansl8 are sunk to apart of their depth in thestove top 10'andthe casings 16 G and 17 "entirely enclose the top of thefat panssothat the only entrance to :the' pans are through the lids'20 of thecasings: Thebox 23'forms 'ajunction forthe'flues 21 and 22fandthe smokestack 24 which is 7 suitably secured in the top of said boxand extendsthrough the canopy 15 into the usual liousechim ne'y. .t v 1i;

Below the stove top 10 the shelf 25 is secured which together with theshort front 7 wall 26 and the back12 forms the chamber27 in which are;situated the gas burners 28 which are suppli'edfwith gas from the commonpipe 29 connected toj the main 30. The waste heat from the; gasrings'is' taken away throughthe l1ole 31 'cut in the back 12 and intothe"flue32 which extendsupwardly into the box 23 where it; escapesintothe stack. I The-ovenf33 is situated between the cas 'ings 16and'l'f and consists ofa box like-struc- .85

ture havinga lid (l hingedto the top and lifting" upwardly." The tray 35consists of a perforated plate covering the open top of a shallowcontainer :36, whichis carried on the slides 37 secured to the sidesoftheoven. It will therefore be'senthat the grease draining 05 the fishlaying on the perforated plate will drain off into the container 36 thusleaving the fish free from the objectionable grease. h

The bottom of the oven consists of a perforated plate 37 resting on theedges of an opening cut in the stove top 10. Under this opening is atray 38 sliding on the runners 39 and containing water which is heatedby 10.

one of the gas burners 28. The tray may be removed from the rangethrough an opening provided in the short front wall 26 which is coveredby the sliding door 40.

In the operation of this invention the waste heat from the gas burners28 is taken out through the rear wall 12 up the flue-32 and into the box23 where it escaps'through the stack pipe 24 to the chimney and thesteam and odour from the pans 18 are taken through the fines 21 and 22of the basin-gs 16 and 17. The heated gases travelling through the stackpipe have the elic't of sucking all; the steam through the fiues andinto the 1665i 23 where it escapes through the stack. .tothe chimney, Itwill therefore be seen that very little steam from the boiling fat can'oescape. into the atmosphere as even when the lids of the casings arelifted there is stilllenough, suction v to clear. away, the steal'nan'danythat escapes and collects under theidanopy 1 5 is immediately drawnii to the l stack through theiholes l inthe bdxea,
